I just received word of Jim's passing and I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I became acquainted with Jim through my job at Commerce Bank in Kansas City. He was such a nice man and a pleasure to talk to on the phone. I was so in hopes that he would be able to overcome his illness. I know you will miss him dearly. May God be with you through the difficult days ahead.

As many times as Larry and I have visited Jim and Jim visited Larry, he never once gave up on his hope in the Lord. I will remember Jim as the man who gave Larry such encouragement as they battled cancer together. He will be missed but we trust in our Lord that we will once again see our beloved husbands again.

With great sadness we saw Jim's obituary in the paper. Mary Anne, I thought of you every time I passed Sunset Whitney since I saw you last year in Loomis. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in these difficult times. Dave and Vicki
